Touched By an Angel

Does anyone remember the show Touched By an Angel besides me? I loved that show, I was watching the Hallmark channel tonight and they played a two part episode called I Will Walk With You.
Monica is the year fledgling angel who is sent to a town called Ascension somewhere in the western part of the US. Ascension is a town without future because of a horrific accident; all of the town's children were killed in a boiler explosion at the one school.
Enter Monica and a young, handsome drifter(Zake)who just happens to be a, you guessed it, carpenter. Coincidently, this same carpenter was spotted in the town a year prior in the school.
The plot was so obvious, but Zack was accused of the horrible mass murder of the 46 children and was sentenced to consecutive life sentences.
Before he could be shipped to the state prison, he was told by Monica that she was an angel and would like to be his angel for the rest of her life. (It was expected to be short one, because he wasn't expected to survive the appeal process). Inmates and the most hardened criminals have their standarsd, I guess.
The net ressult was that the boiler was tampered with by a mentally challenged man who was told to trun up the boiler so the basement kitties would stay warm. Zake, in the meantime, had disappeared from the jail.

This was the last episode and I think they ended on a nice note. I loved this show and I'm greatful for reruns! Happy new year everyone!
